About the Ebute Ojo/Sifax Ferry Terminal – Agaja crossing
One departure at 06:30, Monday to Saturday. The boat covers 3.8 nautical miles in 40 minutes — a slow pace that points to shallow lagoon water and intermediate stops rather than a direct run across open water.
An early single sailing
Half past six is the start of the Lagos commuter window, and on a route with one boat that hour is not negotiable. Anyone missing it is on the road, which in this part of the city is the outcome the ferry exists to avoid.
Six days a week
Monday to Saturday, with nothing on Sunday. Lagos lagoon services are contracted around working travel, and Sunday provision is thin across the network rather than specific to this route.
A long-dated schedule
The listed plan runs to 21 April 2027. Water transport timetables here are published for long periods rather than reissued each season, so a departure confirmed now is likely to hold.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Passenger water buses
- Modern jetty terminals
- Licensed private ferries
- Life-jacket safety enforcement
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
